    Well, what can I say, it's a mediocre game, it was fun for the first hour, bat after that, meh that was a bit annoying, the story it's boring and absolutely bad, and the graphic..., it's true that the graphic doesn't count in a game, but man.., in this one it's terrible, it's looks like like a PS2 game in the first years of production...., even Drakengard 3 have a better graphic than thisWell, what can I say, it's a mediocre game, it was fun for the first hour, bat after that, meh that was a bit annoying, the story it's boring and absolutely bad, and the graphic..., it's true that the graphic doesn't count in a game, but man.., in this one it's terrible, it's looks like like a PS2 game in the first years of production...., even Drakengard 3 have a better graphic than this (but at least Drakengard 3 it's a very good game), and the game it's too easy, no challenge; at least it have a easy platinum and the the voice acting a ok..........… Expand

    Magus is not an entertaining game. It suffers from repetitive gameplay, bugs, glitches, and abhorrent visuals. Worse still, it’s expensive, with the release currently commanding a laughable $24.99 price point on the PlayStation Store. Put your time and money towards something better than this.

    I don't think I can argue that Magus is a "good" game. In fact, there's a strong argument to be made that it's kind of terrible. It's short, it's ugly, it's easy, it's kind of stupid — basically, by any conventional judging of good/bad, it probably comes out on the wrong side of the ledger...Here's the thing, though: I loved it.

    Unlike Deadly Premonition, Earth Defense Force 2025, or other games that hide genuine depth behind an awkward presentation, Magus has no hidden quality, charm or saving grace. It's entirely witless, and none of its mechanics strive for anything beyond mediocrity. Despite its issues, though, Magus is surprisingly breezy to play.
